QPR boss Neil Warnock admits Jamie Mackie was too honest for his own good in defeat to Manchester City.

Warnock could only wistfully wonder at what might have been near the end.

"Any striker in this league will go down if they get touched," he said.

"Today, Mario Balotelli went down without being touched. But Jamie stayed on his feet.

"He's a young lad. He is just glad to be here, isn't he? Naive is what I would call it, amongst a few other things."
